The team at ubloquity are delighted to announce a collaboration with Jonny McKinney and the team at the PING Group.

PING is set to streamline the aerospace and defence sector through digital asset identification, storage, management and frictionless movement across the aerospace sector. The partnership will generate five new specialist roles, with the aim of enhancing transparency, traceability and resilience across Northern Ireland’s aerospace and defence supply chains.

Based at Belfast International Airport and Edinburgh Airport, PING manages the storage and logistics for some of the world's leading companies. In a digital centre of excellence at PING’s Belfast International Airport site, our digital asset identification, authentication and traceability technologies will be used to improve PING’s real-time asset management and accelerate innovations for aerospace, defence and industrial consumers. The main focus will be on creating a digital twin to support traceability across aerospace and defence components, zero-friction supply chain integration, AI and IoT-enabled asset monitoring and support for export and compliance standards.

Commenting on the news, Jonny McKinney, CEO of the Ping Group said, “At Ping, we believe in combining precision with innovation. Our partnership with ubloquity is a strategic step in future-proofing our business and that of our supply chain.

“The roll-out of next-generation digital infrastructure and asset-level digital passports across landside and airside operations will provide real-time visibility, enhanced security and end-to-end traceability. This will lay the foundation for more sustainable, transparent and resilient logistics supply chains.”

Kieran Kelly, Founder, CEO of ubloquity added, “This partnership is also about creating high-quality, growth-oriented jobs. At ubloquity, we will be expanding our workforce across front-end development, DevOps, architecture and security. Critical areas that will shape the digital landscape for years to come.
